“…AGL systems require expensive maintenance and conservation work and pose power quality concerns mainly derived from luminaire failure [5]. For this reason, it is necessary to study and predict AGL system behavior using an AGL system equivalent circuit.…”

“…According to the safety restrictions of the International Civil Aviation Organization and the Federal Aviation Agency, luminaire failure is an important issue in AGL systems, with fast detection and location of failed luminaires posing a challenge in terms of cost-saving maintenance and safe operating policies. Computer-controlled monitoring of AGL systems is suggested in the literature for checking the status of AGL systems (including failed luminaires) [3] systems between luminaires and CCRs are an attractive solution for AGL system monitoring [3], [5], [6]. However, this technology is still not sufficiently developed for deployment.…”

Aeronautical ground lighting (AGL) systems provide a visual reference for aircraft during airport operations. Fast detection and location of failed luminaires is an important safety concern in AGL systems. In the event of luminaire failure, AGL transformers introduce harmonic currents. Resonances can increase harmonics, worsening the problem. This paper presents analytical expressions for determining resonance frequencies in AGL systems, as well as a simple procedure based on these expressions for locating failed luminaires from measurements.

“…These systems are single-phase series circuits where constant current regulators (CCRs) supply luminaires through transformers with voltages up to 5 kV (see Fig. 1) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. CCRs are variable voltage sources, [10,11], which provide an adjustable root mean square (rms) current according to luminaire brightness requirements and ensure circuit continuity, even in case of luminaire failure [4,6,7].…”

Aquesta és una còpia de la versió author's final draft d'un article publicat a la revista [ Abstract: Aeronautical ground lighting (AGL) systems are single-phase series circuits where constant current regulators supply transformers and luminaires. These systems provide visual reference to aircraft during airport operations. There is a lack of AGL system models and measurements in the literature to study AGL system behaviour and predict their response to electrical events and future technological changes. The study contributes to AGL system modelling with an equivalent circuit useful to study AGL system concerns by Matlab/Simulink simulations. It also presents field measurements taken at Reus airport (Catalonia, Spain) for the validation of the proposed model and understanding of AGL system behaviour in the event of luminaire failure.

“…From bandwidth perspective, PLC is classified into Narrowband PLC (NB-PLC) and Broadband PLC (BB-PLC). NB-PLC is capable of providing low data rate communication and is well suited for emerging SG applications such automated meter reading (AMR) [3]. On the other hand, BB-PLC provides high data rates and is suitable to be used for the access of Internet and broadband applications.…”

Efforts are underway to extend these existing standards so as to ensure reliable performance for a broad range of SG applications [3].…”

Smart Grids (SG) may be the most significant technological change in the history of electric grids, that can help curb the looming energy crisis worldwide, with intelligent generation, transmission and distribution of energy using a robust communication network. Power lines are a very promising solution for carrying data to serve as broadband access network in the context of SG, along with the wireless communication techniques. This paper investigates the design and simulation of a digital communication system optimized for Power Line Communication (PLC) in Smart Grids. For the proposed PLC transceiver, we consider Discrete Multitone (DMT) modulation based on a modified bit loading technique for the subcarriers.Our results reveal that the proposed incremental bit loading algorithm enhances data rate, and reduces computation time, as compared to the originally proposed incremental bit loading algorithm for PLC.
